Nicola Ughi is a photographer with experience in travel and leisure both for editorial and corporate clients.

Nicola travels alone with its camera to uncover the spirit of a place: hotels and houses but at the same time popular traditional feasts and typical food. He likes to describe animated landscapes instead of loneliness.

He loves to travel, especially in Europe and the Northern hemisphere to tell stories about traditions and contradictions of the civilised world. In 2016 and 2017 he had the possibility of travelling around Italian beaches to create a reportage for Sammontana Icecream, decribing the typical Italian summer way of living.

Peter Baiamonte wants his images to tell stories while communicating a sense of deeper meaning and giving his audience a glimpse of a unique place or revealing the special personality of his subjects.

The work featured in this Spotlight is taken from new personal projects including adventures in Venice, Italy; the Big Island of Hawaii; and a road trip through Montana as the entire state was blanketed in smoke from wildfires.

Peter's clients include Ernst & Young, Con Edison, Panasonic, Bayer, Harrison and Star, Novartis, Berkshire Magazine, TevaNeuroscience, and Webster Bank.

"I'm a photographer, adventurer and surfer based in the Canary Islands. I'm passionate about blending travel and sports as part of the same story, and thus connecting companies to their audience.

Considering the growing demand for locations in the Canary Islands in the last few years, my extensive local knowledge is invaluable. I’ve been creating editorial, commercial and advertising content all around the world over the last 12 years for clients such as Nike, Red Bull, Hard Rock Hotels, Sunday Times Travel, Ralph Lauren and Cadillac Magazine.

I feel comfortable in any kind of photographic field, but it is outdoors where I fulfill my potential. Awards include the Travel Media Awards 2016 as best 'Travel & Tourism photography of the year' and PDN 'The Great Outdoors' 2016 winner."

Veronica Verlan is an adventure photographer based in Moldova. She began her career in action sports, but the farther the geography of her adventure went, the wider her field of work and interest became.

Snowboarding, biking or climbing did not present a powerful point of interest anymore – she wanted to place her favourite hobbies and athletes in specific environments, mostly in the wilderness and in the heart of nature.

Right now this is her way of discovering the world and integrating into those environments. Instead of staring at beautiful scenery, she prefers to keep moving around them and capturing people doing the same.
